Section 26 EPA 1986 confers POWER on Central Government to make RULES. These rules are laid before:

1. Section 26 EPA 1986: 'Every rule made under this Act shall be laid, as soon as may be after it is made, before each House of Parliament, while it is in session, for a total period of thirty days which may be comprised in one session or in two or more successive sessions...' 2. Modification or annulment power: if before the expiry of the session, both Houses agree on any modification or annulment, the rule shall thereafter have effect only in such modified form or be of no effect. 3. This standard parliamentary scrutiny clause ensures legislative oversight of executive rule-making. 4. Hence option B is correct. _Source: EPA 1986 / Constitution of India / Stockholm/Rio/Paris / Indian SC environmental jurisprudence — Environment (Protection) Act 1986, Section 26_
